IThe Lack of Cars.

Farmer, st. PAUL. The usual trouble
at this season of lack of cars to move the
enormous wheat crop of Minnesota, and
Dakota is making itself felt, and, as
usual, the small elevators and private
warehouses; complain that preference is
given to the large elevators. and the
large elevators declare that the rail-
roads discriminate, if at all, against
them, while. the railroad men. profess
their desire to utilize their facilities to
the best Of their ability in such way as
will serve the best interests of the larg-
est number With a shortage of cars,
everyone who fails to get what he APP
plies for will feel himself aggrieved.
The roads have added very largely to
their supply Of cars since last winter,
but the. increase Of acreage in Dakota,
and the great Increase in the yield over
last year at least in Northern Minnesota
and Northern Dakota, again confront
US with a crop greater than the rolling
stock is equal to. Un nquestionably the
small farmer, he wilo has nothing but
his wheat and is CONF PEELED to sell that,
sthe man to be chiefly considered, and
the policy Of the roads should. be, as iar
as they have any discretion in the mat
ter, to help the larger number The
larger farmers, who can ship by the
carload, can usually afford 70 hold
their wheat, as indeed good policy
would dictate they should, and not
drown the market. The withhol olding d
wheat shipments by all who can stford
to 90 %, would not only result III relier.

The Mile Lacs Fire.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The dam
age by forest fires in the Mile Laos lake
region proves to have been fully as seri
Gus as early reports made it. Beginning
within two miles or so of Brainerd the
tire stretched across strip from six tc
eight miles. The fire extended in a
southwest to northwest direction fol-
from twelve to fifteen miles in which
apace scarcely an acre is unburned, ex.
cept about buildings where fire-breaks
were p'owed. Some hay has been saved
IN this way. The Anokasippi river, to-
gether with the two Long lakes, formed
barrier which stopped the progress
eastward, and the Hay creek bottoms
beyond escaped. A couple of miles be-
yond Hay creek the burnt district was
found n ain, which proved the western
limit o: the belt that has been burned
westward from Mile Lacs-making the
lattvr belt eight or ten miles wide. Its
length is not less than fifteen miles, ex-
tending from near Stratton's lumber
camp. which escaped on the south, to
above Knoxville, which is on the north
shore Of Mile Laos. In Crow Wing
county fully one-ffth of the whole area
of land has been burned over, but the
actual losses are surprisingly small, over
and above the damage, to lumber which,
cannot yet be estimated.

WINNIPEG, Man. Oct. 1l.--The local
government have, under the treasury
department act of 1887, issued treasury
bonds of the denominations of $50, $lO0
and $500, dated the first of October, to
assist in the completion of the Red
River Valley railway. The total amount
issued is $500, 900. for one year and bear
ing interest at the rate of per cent per
annum, payable half yearly. They were
placed on sale to day in the Imperial
bank; and are reported being rapidly
purchased. Bank managers here speak
favorably Of the bonds and pronounce
them first class securities. The OPEN
ing of the Northern Pacific to Pembina
has already produced a good effect on
the frontier wheat market. The rate to
Duluth from Pembina is quoted at q
cents per 100 pounds, while the rate to
Port Arthur via Canadian Pacific railway

parched, frizzled and burnt up districts
of the Eastern and Western states
comes the wall, loud and deep, "Give
us potatoes for we have them not" For
.tunatefy Dakota, Minnesota, and part
of Nebraska have their usual very large
crop of that useful esculent and the
movement of potatoes to the cast and
southeast is already very large. The
crop has been good around the Twin
Cities, and potato raisers are reaping a
rich harvest. Even from Devils Lake,
in Central Northern Dakota, there is a
large export movement. Mr.. Jos. Da-
venport of that place has contracted
several car lots to go to Illinois, at the
price of IS cents pei. bushel on track at

Seven Murdered Men.

Hurley, Wis, Oct. S.-A most horrible
discovery was made here yesterday.
Seven men have been murdered and
we're buried in the rear of dive just off

burned by fire and not rebuilt. Two
hunters started out and took their way
through a ravine near their house.
Before getting far they missed one OF
their dogs. Upon whistling he returned
to them with bloody silk cap in his
mouth with tufts Of human hair. They
returned with the dog to the rear of the
dance house, where they found the
bodies Of seven men, some with gaping
wounds, others bruised Some we're
huddled up as though killed while in a
drunken stupor. The corpses were de-
composed beyond recognition. Nothing
was found on the bedias 70 identify them,
The remains were buried in one grave.

Indemnity Lands.

Washin ngton Special Telegram, Oct, 8
THE action ofthe interior department
| in the matter Of railroad indemnity
lands is going to prove the greatest
God d-send the legal fraternity have had
for many years" said an officer of that
department yesterday. !. ! .#
The litigation which is sure to follow
the efforts Of the general land office to
to override the acts of congress is going
to make hard work for the courts.
Every instruction regarding indemnity
lands that come up lately has been de-
cided by the supreme court and in such
a manner settles without question the
rights ofthe railroads. The land bureau
by overriding these decisions has forced
the roads to 60 to law with every settler
who under the decisions of the depart
ment takes up these lands With the
opinion of the supreme court before it,
no inferior court can give these settlers
any relief and the department is simply
tempting settlers to risk their time and
money with a prospect of inevitably
losing all. The evictions in Iowa that
are so loudly complained Of are simply
the results of officers with ministerial
functians attempting to override the
decisions of the courts and the act of
congress. They held out a false hope to
these settlers that was never realized.
The Northern Pacific railroad will, in
few days, find itself in a position where
recourse to the courts against each
individual settler will be the only thing.
BY forced construction of law the de-
partment has deciden that the road has.
no Sc econd indemnity belt. This ignores
a supreme court decision and decision
by Secretary Teller acknowledging the
roads right to lands within second
belt under the resolution of May 80, 1870.
This later opinion reverses Teller's de:
cision in violation of a well-known rule
of department ethics and in the face of
decision by Lamar himself, boil, of
which deny the right of officials to
overturn the action Of his predecessor.
have not the slightest doubt that the
road will secure in the courts every foot
of lands denied here, and the result
can only be ruin to men who are
encouraged by departmental action to
settle on these lands.
